This is 2017, and we are way past the time when we can judge a couple’s age gap, and it should not really matter if someone is dating a woman 20 years his junior, as long as they are compatible. But Hollywood is messy and gets unpredictable with each passing day. Dating a person who is substantially younger might end up being a lot of work. In these stars’ cases, at least, things went down south pretty fast, when they ignored the age tag.

1Tom Cruise

Possibly the murkiest divorces of the decade. When Tom Cruise fell in love with Katie holmes, he jumped up and down on Oprah Winfrey’s couch. Katie was 16 years younger than the twice-divorced Tom, and yet they were incredibly happy for quite some time. They got married and had their daughter Suri, but their marriage only lasted six years. Tom had a relentless spiritual obsession with the cult of Scientology, and wanted to pursue their lifestyle.

Katie was of course a lot more liberal and never wanted her daughter to grow up under religious pressures. While, some say Scientology split them up, their huge age gap could not have possibly helped, especially since Katie did give up work for a while, while she was married.

2 Bradley Cooper

When 40-something Bradley Cooper started seeing British model Suki Waterhouse in 2011, people thought it could never get serious. Suki was 17 years Bradley’s junior and did not even share the same countries. But despite all odds, Bradley and Sui did manage to sustain the relationship for two years. Until 2013, when they broke up, and it was reported that their huge age difference is the reason behind the split. Also, Suki wanted to focus on her career, which led to them spending a lot of time apart, which obviously didn’t help.

3 Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo is known for dating younger women, almost exclusively. From Blake Lively to supermodel Toni Garrn, Leonardo has dated a string of younger women. But one his longest relationship was with Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal. Nina, who is just 25, met the 42-year-old Leonardo through friends and embarked on a year-long relationship together. Though they never made any red carpet appearances, they were seen hanging out and vacationing together multiple times.

They broke up last year, and though they continue to remain friends, Leo’s friends insist that they split up as they were just not compatible and the age gap was too big for them to have something in common.

4 Johnny Depp

The divorce that shocked Hollywood – when Johnny Depp started dating actor Amber Heard, who was 23 years younger than him, his friends including Angelina Jolie, called it a mid-life crisis. Nobody thought Johnny and Amber would made it work, especially since Johnny was just getting out of a 14-year-old relationship with supermodel Vanessa Pardis. They eventually married in 2014, and started having problems within a year.

Amber filed for divorce 15 months after their marriage and accused Johnny of physical and mental abuse. The divorce proceedings took an ugly turn, and now Johnny Depp’s Hollywood career is at stake. Most of his fans are alienated from him seeing the charges against him and have vowed to never see his movies.

5 Demi Moore

Twice-divorced Demi Moore stunned Hollywood when she chose to marry a 15-years younger Ashton Kutcher in 2003. Demi was a Hollywood icon, whereas Ashton was just hitting his stride. Their marriage lasted eight years, but came to an end in 2011, when Demi filed for divorce citing ‘irreconcilable differences.; Friends close to the couple still believe that though Ashton was quite close to all of Demi’s children, the couple’s age gap became the bigger issue.

13 Darren Aronofsky

Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky began dating the lead actress from his 2017 film mother, Jennifer Lawrence. The couple had a 22-year age gap and obviously could not sustain the relationship beyond a few months. The couple appeared to be very happy and chatty on their film’s premieres, but the film did not do well at the box office. Soon after the film released, they broke up. Close friends believe that the besides the huge age difference, Jennifer was not happy with how the film came out and that affected their relationship in a big way.

Reality star Scott Disick has a reputation for being a womanizer. In fact, after his break-up with longtime partner Kourtney Kardashian, he became more of a playboy and started dating 19-year-old actor Bella Thorne.

But Scott never heard the end of it from the Kardashians who relentlessly went against him for dating someone so young and problematic.
